A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Hearing stars

I suppose you could consider this another follow-up, although I don’t have the “fresh” photo to share with you.  Ighlif (IAM: Eroswastika) is the artist responsible for putting this small silicone implant in.  It’s fully healed in this photo, and looks great.  Unless my eyes are playing tricks with me, I can’t even see an incision scar.

    It looks like the incision scar is just above the top point. That suturing must have been pristine, because it is barely there. Hiding it in the shadow of the ear fold was a smart choice too. Gorgeous work.

    incision scar is very well done – curves to the ear and is barely noticeable unless you look very close.

    I have really wanted to do exactly this. But I went to see and artist about it and he said it could not be done on my ear because of the shape of my cartilage. Bummer. 🙁
